It would have to be Dodgers vs. Giants for me.
My father, brother, an uncle of mine, and me are very big Dodgers fans, especially my dad [my mom is more of a fair weather fan]. He's loved them ever since he was a boy during their last days in Brooklyn, and he went to the very first Opening Day at Dodger Stadium in 1962. Him and my uncle go to Opening Day every year and have been for the past 30 or so years.
Going to a Dodger/Giant game is awesome. The tension between the fans is really heated, even if it might be pale in comparison to the Yanks/Sox rivalry.
I love it.
Dodgers/Giants is the best. Last season a Dodgers fan got shot to death!

Germany Vs England - Football
Austrialia Vs England - Rugby Union
Austrialia Vs England - Cricket.
They always make for the best games IMO.

I was going to put that one on, but it's more of a "new" rivalry, not a classic one likes the ones listed.
Hence the Other choice.

I'm from Ohio, and I'm going to the Ohio State University in the fall, so I'm definitely going with Michigan vs. Ohio State.
Close behind is UNC and Duke.

India vs Pakistan (Cricket) IMO is the best rivalry. i love watching them play against each other. the fans over there go crazy.

I really couldn't decide. Ohio St/Michigan is huge, but I went with UNC and Duke. I hate both teams but I love watching them go at each other.

Also Bret Hart v Shawn Michaels in wrestling. my favourite wrestlers of all time and they really hated each other.

"The" Ohio State sucks
Go Illini
I voted Sox/Yanks for obvious reasons, but that was before I saw Ali/Frazier.

Maryland vs. Duke or Ravens vs. Steelers
Yeah, they're homer picks, but still.

Illini suck! Go Hawkeyes! On Iowa!!!
Army v. Navy gets very intense and emotional and it's just great. If you ever get a chance, go to the Army/Navy game, it's insane.
Against Miik!
03-30-2005, 10:52 PM
Michigan vs. Ohio State, even though it should be OSU vs. Michigan. Cleveland Browns vs the Steelers isn't bad either.

Definitly.

Hah, Sucks for you this year.
Best rivalry is the 49'ers Vs. Cowboys from the early 90's. Cowboys vs. Redskins? Uhh I don't think so.

I have to agree with you because im a fan of the boys as well, but I voted OSU v Michigan because college rivalries are so prideful.

I voted for the Montreal Canadiens vs. Toronto Maple Leafs.
Its one of (if not the) oldest one up there, and those two teams are 1-2 in stanley cup championships (I think toronto is still ahead of detroit).
I didnt feel like voting for other, but another favorite is the Raiders vs. Broncos. My favorite team is Oakland, and I despise the Ponies, so that one is always fun.

Man U and Arsenal at the moment due to the Pizza throwing :lol:

Man Utd vs Asenal (football/soccer - i'm from manchester btw ;))

but arsenal/man city does come close

I can't stand either team, but Al stabbed our [Southern California] backs.
"Oh, if you build a new stadium for the team, we'll stay! Just build two of them at a time and blow a ton of money on them!"
"Oh, sorry, I'm moving back to Oakland!"

Ya, I dont like Al Davis much. It seems like every offseason he's sueing someone, its kind of embarrassing.

Boston Red Sox V the NY Yankee's is the ultimate.. anybody notice how no one really cared about the Cardinals V Astros in the NLCS last year?
I'm from Ohio as well.
The Bengals Vs Steelers, and Bengals Vs Browns is a pretty big rivalry. the fact that the steelers usualy beat the tar out of us have the bengals fans ready chew nails..
University of Cincinnati Vs Xavier is pretty intense as well. It is one of the top rivalries in college basketball now and has had some insane finishes, usualy involving a bearcats player F'n up something simple. :angry:
Ohio State Vs Michigan, Intense game, used to be for a trip to the rose bowl, but now it's usualy a BCS birth.

Dodghers Giants, but the only reason I picked that one is because the 49ers Cowboys, or Satnford Cal rivalry isn't on here. Get with the ****in progam people.

Leafs and Sens have started great rivalry in the past couple of years. (since we always kick their ***.)
Come to think of it, Toronto kinda has a rivalry with every other Canadian NHL team.

Intense.
Best rivalry in all of sports. Those roots run very deep for both sides. Puts all the rivalries in the States to shame.
My favorite American rivalry is the Broncos/Raiders. Go Broncs.

Well, it's hard to beat the Red Sox/Yankees rivalry but I've always enjoyed the Celtics/Lakers rivalry just as much (no one acknowledges their rivalry anymore, but it makes sense; the Celtics havn't really been rivaled against them since the 80's).

That just about ended when Kareem retired.

I'd say Canadiens - Nordique in the NHL, one of the biggest rivality in the league. I'll never forget the saint friday (dont know if its called like that in english though).
Spurs vs Arsenal.
Germany/Argentina vs England
Rangers vs Islanders

I went with Redskins/Cowboys but my favorite rivalries are MD/Duke, Army/Navy, and O's/Yankees (and the o's just won!)

The problem with Army/Navy is that both teams are usually so awful that it has no implications.

I never really thought of those two as rivals :-\
Hell, the Yanks/Braves rivalry is practically dead.

well it's a huge rivalry here in MD. it's kinda sad tho, the stadium is full of yankee fans...

it's still a rivalry, and a pretty big one. it's on national tv every year. and navy's been pretty good the last two years
